Thousands of people have been affected
by floods sweeping across Georgia. The floods, caused by a combination
of torrential rains and melting snow, first started at the end of April
and there is no sign they are over.

IOCC recently responded to flood-stricken
communities in Romania, the Republic of Georgia and Serbia where prolonged
periods of rain in late April caused widespread flooding and damage. Below,
flood-affected communities in Romania were aided by the Romanian government
and Romanian Orthodox Church in the immediate aftermath through the provision
of emergency items and assistance with home reconstruction.

Heavy rains have caused major damage in
the eastern Georgian regions of Kakheti and Mtskheta-Mtianeti. Transport
infrastructure has been heavily affected. Many bridges and roads have been
washed away, cutting off access to some villages.

Due to the damage of power transmission
lines, the population of the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region has been left without
electricity.

Reportedly, the water level in the Zhinvali
reservoir, which is located in 70 kilometers from capital Tbilisi, has
reached a critical stage.

On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of the Hellenic Republic and the Hellenic Agency for International
Development Cooperation, the Hellenic AID, I would like to take this opportunity
to give a warm welcome to the distinguished delegation from World Food
Program, and to wish to you all a pleasant and enjoyable stay in Athens.
